[comp.sys.dec] vax 11/730 and console

raj@netcom.COM (Roger Lee) (04/22/91)

Greetings one and all.

I am the proud (?) owner of a DEC VAX 11/730 running VMS. I am having 
considerable difficulty with it now. Whenever I attempt to boot it up,
the screen comes up fine, but when time to input data, it refuses to
recognize anything. I've tried everything -- different terminals with
varying emulations, even hardwiring a PC to it == still no go.

My question is threefold:

	1) is this the appropriate conference to be posting this query.
	   if not, where?

	2) what hardware has gone bad?

	3) is there anyway I can acquire a boot tape that would bypass
	   the need for console input upon boot and initialize a remote
	   port?

     Thanks in advance. Please email replys to:
	raj@netcom.com
	     -or-
	apple!netcom!raj (for you with mailers like mine)....
